canonical link on mobile site

    Hello,

    Moved a couple of days ago from Yoast, and I like what I see.

    However, I have one problem:

    Technically, my site consist of two wordpress installs: one for the desktop site (domain.com) and one for the mobile site (m.domain.com)

    On m.domain.com, the canonical link is m.domain.com, while it should be domain.com.

    So, how can I change this with a filter?

    I tried

    /**
 * Set canonical url to desktop site
  */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
        $custom_url = RankMath\Post::get_meta( 'canonical_url', get_the_ID() );
	if ( $custom_url ) {
		$canonical = ltrim($custom_url,"m.");
	}
        
	return $canonical;
});

    but this is obviously not working…

    Seems like I solved the problem in the most unprofessional way ??

    After the 999th attempt to get the above code to work, Rank Math suddenly stopped showing the canonical tab. It looks like I caused a serious error (completely unintentionally).

    Stupid of me, but with the existing tag gone, it suddenly made sense to put some code in the header

    <? php
$ permalink = get_permalink ();
$ find = array ('https: //m.mysite');
$ replace = '<href = "https: //www.mysite';
$ output = str_replace ($ find, $ replace, $ permalink);
echo '<link rel = "canonical"'. $ output. '">';
?>

    It’s working!

    If anyone comes up with something better, I’ll gladly implement it – I can’t think of what will happen if my grandchildren ever find out what their grandfather did with websites ??

    Hello @alex845

    Thank you for your message.

    You can make it work using the str_replace function:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	$canonical = str_replace( 'm.domain.com', 'domain.com', $canonical );
	return $canonical;
} );

    Hope that helps.
